Case Closed
The Spyder is completely back to normal! Brake lights are working, but will still need the recall work completed whenever they get replacement switches in.
Details
Last nite I was rehashing in my mind everything I had done and I could not remember reconnecting the brake switch. I had disconnected it when I initially thought I might have a short in some wiring. So this morning I pulled all the right side body panels off again and sure enough I didn’t reconnect the brake switch. Connected it back and started the bike and all the crazy errors I had previously were all gone. Took it for a short ride and everything was just fine, no limp home mode and no VSS error message, she’s back to her normal reliable self.
So the moral of the story is I had a bad battery and nothing more and I created my own additional problems by not double checking my work before putting the body panels back on.
